East Barsham Manor
Location: Norfolk, England
• Tudor Origins: Built in the 1520s by Sir Henry Fermor, one of England’s earliest "prodigy houses," reflecting its owner's wealth and status.
• Royal Connections: Hosted King Henry VIII and his queens, Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon, on multiple occasions.
• Architectural Beauty: Features exquisite Tudor brickwork and ten chimneys, each uniquely patterned.
• Restoration: Revived in the 1920s–1930s after centuries of neglect, remaining a private treasure.
• Cultural Influence: Inspired the entrance façade design of Scotland’s Dalmeny House.
• East Barsham Manor: is located near Anmer Hall, which is the country residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton. Anmer Hall is part of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, making them relatively close neighbours in this picturesque region. It must be quite something to have royalty as neighbours!
